I didn't think it was like blackface, rather more like the very prevalent skin bleaching and hair straightening that goes on across India, Africa, the Caribbean and South America.
When you're painting up the ladder the vibes are very different.
Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
For my birthday I'm getting some Doctor Who DVDs. The set will include the Face of Evil, the Hand of Fear and the Brain of Morbius. I'm sensing a pattern here. Alas, I have yet to acquire the Head of Vecna.

Leela was a fan of violence, body parts would be right up her alley. Hey, Fang Rock! Talons of Wang Whozit!
No, Brain of Morbius was Sarah.

No, Brain of Morbius was Sarah.
As was the Hand of Fear. Those three eps occur within just two seasons (and include Sarah's last adventure and Leela's first one).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Surely there's a real (and not just metaphorical) connection between Mr. Pink & Ms. Blue?
They're setting up for an episode written by Quentin Tarantino?

From Stephen Amell's Facebook page:
At the airport very early this morning coming into the US. Was flagged and brought into the secondary inspection area, where the following exchange took place:
Me: This is strange, I come across the border all the time.
Agent: That might be part of the problem. It seems your travel habits have set off an alert that you're a likely candidate for the transport of either narcotics or cash.
Me: ............... Really?
Agent: Really. Need to ask some follow up questions and go through your bag. I'd prefer to just tell my superiors that you're the (expletive) Arrow, but there are procedures we need to follow.

Tim makes fun of me for following Stephen Amell's FB page, but it seriously wins at everything.

And, AFAIK, he does it himself; the content isn't generated by a PR team like a lot of other celebrities' FB pages.
